Gutter price and sizes are the first question when water runs down the facade.
Drainage system prices and sizes may sound trivial, but they protect the house.
Below you will see how to think about diameter, slope, and the number of downspouts.
I will give a guideline for prices and the most common installation mistakes.
The most important thing for a moment:
- Choose diameter according to the roof area and where the water collects.
- The slope towards the funnel is small but determines whether the gutter will overflow.
- The price depends on material, coating, accessories, and length.
- Seamless gutters reduce the risk of leaks at the joints.
- Plan the system as a set, not as separate pieces.
Why the slope in a drainage system decides everything
The slope is the quiet hero of the gutters.
Without it, water stands, collects debris, and eventually spills outside.
What a wrong slope looks like in gutters
- The water does not go to the funnel but forms puddles along the length.
- During a downpour, the gutter overflows in the middle, not at the end.
- In winter, ice pockets form and the system is loaded.
If you see this, it is not "bad luck."
Most often it is a lack of proper slope or crookedly arranged brackets.
For ready solutions and elements, open Drainage System.
How much slope is needed for the drainage system to work
Look for a smooth slope towards the funnel.
In practice, a slope of about 2 mm per meter is often made.
For longer sections, you can also work with two outlets.
This reduces the risk of overflow and noisy bubbling.
If you want guidelines for arranging the details, open Installation Instructions.
And yes, the slope is probably more important than the diameter.
What diameter gutter to choose according to the roof
Diameter is not "bigger is always better."
It is a balance between capacity, vision, and the actual amount of water.
Three quick rules for choosing sizes
- Look at the area the gutter serves, not just the length.
- Be careful where the valleys and gutters of the roof are.
- Plan the number of drainage pipes so the system does not "choke."
For comparison of types, see Classic drainage system and Seamless gutters.
What diameters like 80 mm and 100 mm mean for drainage pipes
These are common sizes for round drainage pipes.
For a smaller area and more outlets, 80 mm is often enough.
For a larger roof, fewer outlets, or heavy downpours, 100 mm brings peace of mind.
Some models are offered with a diameter of 80 mm or 100 mm, and a length of 3 m.
Standard lengths of 4 m and 6 m are also found, depending on the need.
Pitched roof, canopy, or garage: think practically
The canopy often collects water along one line.
There, the exact slope and clean funnel help more.
For a pitched roof with a large area, think about more than one pipe.
This way the gutters work more quietly and the facade stays dry.
People search for "seamless gutters Sofia," but size is still the first.
If you hesitate, ask for consultation through Contact.
Gutter prices and budget: what forms the final amount
The most common search is "gutter price," but the actual amount is a sum of parts.
When calculating Gutter price and sizes, consider the system as a set.
What is included in a drainage system
- Gutters, connecting elements, and caps.
- Funnel, elbows, and tees for the drainage pipe.
- Clamps for the fascia board or cantilever clamps, depending on the installation.
- Angles, if you have bends in the eaves.
How to avoid hidden costs in drainage systems
Often the price increases not because of the gutter, but due to missing parts.
Check them early so the installation doesn't stop every time.
- Clamps for drainage pipes and dowels.
- Inner or outer angle, if you have a bend in the eaves.
- Left and right caps, plus connectors between sections.
- Elbow and tee, if the pipe bypasses a detail.
When you are not sure, review the entire range in Drainage system and check everything off.
For seamless solutions, "seamless gutter installation prices" are often sought.
There, the price depends on the details and how cleanly the work is done.
Material and coating: small words, big difference
For metal elements, two factors apply: base and coating.
There are models made of galvanized steel with a polymer coating up to 35 microns.
For declared characteristics, corrosion resistance of 15+ years can be indicated.
In classic systems, you will find options like gloss, matte, and zinc.
For a calm arrangement of the list, start with Classic drainage system.
Classic versus seamless drainage system: which option is for you
Both approaches work if planned correctly.
The difference is how they behave over time and how much error is forgiven.
When to choose a classic drainage system
- When you want clear modules and easy replacement of an element.
- When the eaves have many bends and details.
- When you are looking for a specific finish like matte or zinc.
See the solutions in Classic drainage system and arrange the set according to your roof.
When seamless gutters are a more sensible choice
- When you aim for fewer joints and less chance of leaks.
- When you want a cleaner line along the eaves.
- When you are doing a new installation and planning the outlets from scratch.
In Seamless gutters there are elements like 5" seamless gutter, cantilever brackets, tensioners, corners, and tanks.
It is exactly these small parts that make the installation stable and quiet.

Installation without surprises: brackets, distances, and details
The bracket is the place where the gutter wins or loses the battle.
If the brackets are sparse or not aligned, the slope breaks.
What to check before drilling the first hole
- Where the funnel will be and where the pipe will descend.
- Whether the eave is straight or has a “belly”.
- Where claddings and front sheets will pass.
For fasteners and small parts, open Fastening Elements.
For tools, see Tools.
If you are cladding an eave or making an under-gutter skirt, check Eave Claddings.

Delivery to the site and assistance in choosing materials
When the gutter is missing, the repair stops.
That’s why logistics is part of the plan, not the last step.
LATIVA organizes deliveries in Sofia and throughout Bulgaria with specialized transport.
- For larger orders, delivery directly from the factory to the site is possible.
- For any quantity, a transport company can be used.
- For smaller shipments, courier services like Econt or Speedy are used.
Details are in Delivery Information.
If you need installation of roof coverings and roof repairs, see Roof Repairs.
Tip: order everything at once so you don’t have to look for a single cap later.
Question? Answer. Quick voice requests for gutters and drainage systems
What diameter gutter should I choose? Choose it according to the area and how many outlets you have.
What slope should the gutter have? Let it have a gentle fall towards the funnel.
Why do gutters overflow when it rains? Most often it is clogging or incorrect slope.
Seamless gutter or classic gutter? It depends if you want fewer joints.
How much does a drainage system cost? It depends on material, length, accessories, and installation.

When gutters are part of a bigger roof renovation
Gutters work best when the roof is organized.
If you are changing the covering, combine the systems at once.
Useful categories if you are doing a complete project
This way you catch the details in time and avoid the gap between roof and gutter.
If you wonder where to start, open Home and arrange the shopping list.
Conclusion: the choice becomes easy when you organize the logic.
First, plan where the water goes.
Then choose the diameter and number of outlets.
Finally, adjust the slope and the brackets, and you're done.
